The Center for Hearing and Speech was founded in 1947 as the Houston School for Deaf Children. The school, which originally occupied a house on Austin Street, was founded by four parents who wanted their children to learn to speak without sign language. The school eventually expanded to offer speech therapy and audiology. The name was changed by the Board of Directors in 1994 to reflect this wider mission. The school component of the Center was renamed the Melinda Webb School in 2002 in honor of a former student whose father, Frank Webb of Texas City, made a generous donation.

Founded in 1950, the Texas Health Care Association is an education and advocacy group for long-term health care providers such as nursing homes, in-home caregivers, assisted living homes, and rehabilitation facilities.
